After record levels of proposed abortion laws in heavily Republican states, this one will leave you breathless. There really is something terribly wrong in the minds of conservatives.

Huffington Post:A Republican lawmaker in New Mexico introduced a bill on
Wednesday that would legally require victims of rape to carry their pregnancies
to term in order to use the fetus as evidence for a sexual assault trial. House Bill 206, introduced by state Rep. Cathrynn Brown
(R), would charge a rape victim who ended her pregnancy with a third-degree
felony for "tampering with evidence."

“Tampering with evidence shall include procuring or
facilitating an abortion, or compelling or coercing another to obtain an
abortion, of a fetus that is the result of criminal sexual penetration or incest
with the intent to destroy evidence of the crime," the bill says. Third-degree
felonies in New Mexico carry a sentence of up to three years in prison.

Pat Davis of ProgressNow New Mexico called it
"blatantly unconstitutional" on Thursday.

“The bill turns victims of rape and incest into felons and
forces them to become incubators of evidence for the state,” he said.
“According to Republican philosophy, victims who are ‘legitimately raped’ will
now have to carry the fetus to term in order to prove their case.”

I was once a liberal radio talk host. Played co-host to Vicki McKenna, a complete liar who can't can't stop filling the airwaves with mindless babble.
I'm someone who enjoys the the painful smiles of conservatives as they struggle to deny the avalanche of facts tumbling their way. They seem preoccupied with spelling and grammar.
